Calling all Conveners!
Israel Policy Forum is excited to convene a select group of alumni from the Charles Bronfman IPF Atid Conveners Fellowship for a special Alumni Summit in Washington, D.C. This unique gathering will bring together conveners from across the first eight cohorts to reconnect, deepen relationships, and re-engage with IPF Atid’s growing leadership network.
This summit will provide an opportunity for alumni to return to a cohort-based experience, engaging in high-level policy discussions with analysts, diplomats, and regional experts, while also learning from one another through peer-led sessions and collaborative dialogue. Programming will also include professional development workshops designed to support alumni in their personal and professional growth as leaders in their communities and fields.
Building on the foundation of the original Charles Bronfman Conveners Fellowship, participants will revisit the most pressing policy challenges shaping the current moment in Israeli-Palestinian affairs, with a continued focus on advancing thoughtful, informed engagement and a two-state outcome. The summit will also serve as a space to strengthen the alumni network and explore new opportunities for impact within Israel Policy Forum and beyond.
Summit dates: Evening of Saturday, October 17, 2026 - Evening of Tuesday, October 20, 2026
IPF Atid will cover hotel rooms for three nights (double occupancy) and meals throughout the summit.
The fellowship is highly subsidized in honor of Charles Bronfman’s lifelong commitment to a secure, Jewish, and democratic Israel. The participation fee is $180.
Israel Policy Forum covers the cost of travel to and from the summit, as well as hotel accommodations for those from outside of the DMV area. We do not want cost to be a barrier to entry. If the participation fee is not affordable, you are encouraged to reach out directly to sreichman@ipforum.org.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until Monday, June 1, 2026 and applicants will be notified on Monday, June 15, 2026 as to whether or not their application to join the summit is approved. Please note that submitting an application doesn't guarantee a place in the summit as unfortunately, we will only have capacity to accommodate 25 participants.
Note: This summit is reserved for alumni of the IPF Atid Charles Bronfman Conveners Fellowship. There are no age restrictions for attending, including those who are older than the current age range. Priority will given to Conveners from earlier cohorts.
